How can I use this with my class?
Explore elements of the periodic table and atomic structure. Uncover the world of electrons, ions and electrolysis of molten ionic liquids, aqueous solutions and water. Look at how electrolysis is used to make hydrogen on an industrial scale and take on the real-world challenge – a core practical where students produce their own hydrogen using an electrolysis cell. Careers content featuring an energy industry consultant and a vehicle mechanic, showcases real jobs and links knowledge and skills with the world of work. Thank you to Northern Gas Network for their contribution and support creating this resource.
